The Passaic County Adult Day Care program, administered by the Department of Senior, Disability and Veterans Affairs Services, provides a safe and supportive environment for older adults who need supervision, companionship and activities during the day, while continuing to live in their homes and communities.

The center provides a variety of services, including recreational and social activities, light exercise, cognitive stimulation workshops, nutritious meals, and supervision by trained staff. These activities help reduce isolation, strengthen physical and emotional health, and promote social interaction among participants.

The program also represents an important resource for family caregivers, as it gives them peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are in a safe environment and cared for during the day, allowing them to fulfill work or personal responsibilities.
